Testing Node.js apps - Mocha, Chai, and Supertest

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Bruno is a great open source Postman/Insomnia replacement, and I’ve been using it for basic tests of my node servers using the built in asserts and loving it. This is pretty great, and I gather it’s also possible to go beyond this and write tests in JS in Bruno . I believe it also has the hooks needed to build it into your CI/CD systems.

Any large project is probably going to benefit from a more comprehensive suit of testing tools, and while I’ll still be using Bruno, my serious tests will be managed with these other tools.
